Highlights

• Hero MotorCorp to launch its Vida sub-brand e-scooter on October 7th 
• The scooter is likely to focus on safety and range, while performance is expected to be up to the segment benchmarks
• The e-scooter will be produced at Hero’s Chittoor facility 

Hero MotorCorp will launch its first scooter under the Vida brand name on October 7th and will be part of Hero’s 10-year anniversary celebration. The e-scooter was teased last year and is a highly anticipated product from the Indian motorcycling giant. The e-scooter, when launched, will compete with the likes of Ola S1 and S1 Pro, the Bajaj Chetak, the TVS i-Qube, the Ather 450 twins and more. 

The Hero MotorCorp electric scooter will debut the Vida sub-brand in a production series automobile. The scooter, however, was expected to debut back in July, but the company postponed it in favour of a festive season launch.

The e-scooter from Hero MotorCorp was teased last year, and the production-ready version could look similar to what was unveiled. The e-scooter is likely to be priced attractively to give strong competition to its rivals, most likely around the Rs 1 lakh price range. The e-scoter from the Indian motorcycling brand will have a strong focus on safety and range. It will, however, not be a low-speed vehicle, and consumers can expect performance similar to what other products offer in this segment.

Hero MotorCorp will manufacture this upcoming e-scooter at its Chittoor facility in Andhra Pradesh. The company intended to launch the e-scooter in July; however, supply chain constraints might have deferred the launch. The company will infuse Rs 760 crore in upcoming products and has also signed an agreement with a Taiwanese battery company called Gogoro.
